Working on fashion weeks is always a lot of work and stress but loads of fun. This year at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week S/S 2015 was certainly no exception!

I try to put a different spin on the traditional looks, but we are all still learning and there are some looks that will take longer before being accepted in India. We used pony tails and stitched it up with contrasting white threads just to give it an edge for Payal Singhal.

There were some incredibly polished looks we created, like Vivek Karunakaran with short cropped wigs and for some designers with fairly messy dos.

You have to remember it's about the clothes, it has to be simple; it's not a hair show but all about the designs and the finish. I find that we put way too much emphasis on making a statement when the clothes and the work should support everything else without screaming "look at me".

Being in a creative arena such as fashion week always lifts you up and I love it! Sure we are all tired but it's a week of hands on hard work but fashion and hair is what I love, so I am already looking forward to being back next season. Stay tuned!
